Is this a sweet potato plant?

I planted sweet potatoes and have several of these big beautiful plants now growing with yellow, red and lilac colored flowers. In other places where I planted the same sweet potatoes are the typical looking vine plants with flowers that look like morning glories.

My Four O'Clocks look just like this plant. So that is what I think it is possibly a yellow four O'Clock

Noope. It's a nicotiana, or flowering tobacco (not smokeable). They plant themselves from year to year. I guess your sweet potatoes didn't make it. But aren't they pretty?
